George Oliver Smith (1911-1981) was an accomplished American science fiction writer. Smith began publishing his work in the 1940s, often in popular pulps like ASTOUNDING STORIES. His popularity increased in the 1950s, when he published several well-received novels. Smith was a member of the Trap Door Spiders, an all-male literary club which inspired Isaac Asimov’s fictional mystery solvers, the Black Widowers.

3.0 out of 5 stars What would you do if your fiancee were to vanish without a trace?, July 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Science Fiction Collection: George O. Smith (Halcyon Classics) (Kindle Edition)
Highways In Hiding is an intriguing piece of fiction. Smith doesn't explain to his readers, he immerses them in the story and the reality in which it exists.
This was written and published over half a century ago. The prose is heavily laden with dated slang and viewpoints and this makes it less than ideal for today's reader. Try the sample.
